bladesparkI am not going to give the blow-by-blow of the con. It takes too long, and I doubt anybody reads those things anyhow. Insted, I shall give highlights.
I met scads of people. SCADS. They were mostly cool, and nobody stalked me.
A pile of sleeping gayboys is nearly as cute as a pile of sleeping kittens. Nearly.
Lance Ikegawa is my hero! Also, he thinks I've come a long way in making suits, yay! (And he suggested I do a write up on the experience of custom ordering fur from MM, which I thinkk is a good idea, and shall probably do later today.)
Airbrushing is way too much fun, but I despise noisy compressors. Happily due to the below point about profit, I may be able to get a nice, quiet one. Woot!
I have way too much fun speaking on panels, but I do not like being alone up there! I only have so much I can talk about before I run out of stuff, and FC's panel length is an hour and a half. That's a lot of time!
I am not a party animal. That's okay.
I made money! I'm not going to name numbers, I don't think. I have a strange paranoia about that. But... I knew I'd make at least what I did last year. I was better prepared and the con was bigger, so there's no way I could make less. I was fairly confident of making perhaps half again that much, reallly. And I hoped, but didn't dare hope too much, that I'd make maybe twice what I did last year. That would have been perfect and wonderful. Well, when I counted it up on the last day, I made more than twice as much! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! So I can not only get the new computer I want, but I can not scrimp too much on it, and can afford an airbrush compressor, and maybe a nice Windstone as well. Woot!
The cats didn't kill each other while I was gone.
All is good!
Now I just have to get back to sewing, I have a lot of catching up still to do on that front.

Date: 2007-01-23 10:50 pm (UTC)I have a commission proposition to toss your way, but as of right now I'm flat broke and groceries, bills and pets take precedence... but maybe one day when money falls from the sky...
My point is, I'd like to discuss it with you, even if it won't take place until far in the future. :P
